  1. Nope, I bought the wedges as new old stock. never used. stock grooves.
  2. I had a first gen PRGR Egg head in this Al'Islei shaft before and I thought that was super long and easy. The HT matches the performance and forgiveness without that "LOoooUD SOooooUND" This fairway is as friendly as it gets. Just judging from the shape.... perhaps the Jbeam Glorious may be similar but hotter? not sure.
  3. Super soft and super spinny.... I thought maybe they had square grooves at first but apparently not. Paired with the WV , ProV1 balls check and stop like crazy. Almost too much.
  4. Its been washed off.:-) The sulfate in the soap created a copper sulfate film. I think its how Epon does their chocolate color. They probably use straight sulfur though...
  5. Could not wait for it to naturally patina. Look at what my household dishwasher liquid did!! Power of Palmolive!
  6. Modus 3 Wedge shafts don't come in different flexes.... single flex like the WV series. 3 different weights are available. If you want X flex in your wedges, you'll need to go with using Modus 3 iron shafts X-flex in wedge length.
  7. Waiting on a Modart MA01DS! I thought about waiting for the new Zero ... but knowing that it is a much more demanding head, I decided to give the Modart a try hearing how great the feel is. I also read a Japanese blog where someone mid-am level player did this combo and are getting unbelievable results hitting fairways. I understand its probably the Indian and not the arrow , but I thought I would give it a shot. Plus, with this head I can then do a direct comparison of the AAA vs another shaft. ( still deciding on what shaft to compare against. )
  8. I have not tried the Rogue yet .... but everyone around me who is using the 110msi or even the 90msi versions rave about the Rogue. I play frequently with the 3 time State Senior Champ and he was using a 905R with a YS-6 shaft for a long time until he tried the 915 D2 with the stock Rogue over the winter. Seriously, I have never seen anyone hit driver so consistently and so straight. He is 20 yrs older than me and his distance is very similar to when I flush my AF153/Stinger combo. ( i.e. I need a better driver!! ) I know the distance is partly due to the 915 head but his ball is so straight he is not losing much distance from side spin and that I think is because of the shaft. Anyway, long story short, Rogue is definitely in my short list of other shafts to try.
  9. Might be a newer version of their ARMRQ Looks to be specific to the ARMRQ8 for Beres series ...Their shaft series is kinda hard to follow .... http://www.honmagolf.co.jp/en/item/armrq/
  10. My AAA headlessly waiting for its soulmate to arrive.:) A couple of Regio Formula MBs on their way as well. Other shafts that use Toray T1100G are Honma ARMRQ8, Fujikura Speeder Evolution, Quadra FEx RB . Quickly becoming very popular material used in high end shafts, it seems. Wondering how Seven Dreamers would compare against AAA '15. If the Formula MB even comes close to AAA in terms of stability and feel against the AAA, it has to be one of the best bang for buck you can spend on shafts at the moment. haven't been this excited about new shafts in a while!
  11. You'll need to translate that for me in terms of Camry vs GTI or something like that.
  12. Actually both!! :) 80T full length plus 90T on the butt end of the shaft.
  13. I read somewhere that the blue Regio mimics the Modus 120 the red Regio M is like the Modus 130 and the new MB is the Modus 125 from an overall shaft profile/concept perspective. I do hope it’s not too high launching with the active tip. I got the 65S for a driver and 75S for a 3 wood. a bit lighter than my usual selections but i am hoping the better material will create more stability with the lighter models. Can't wait to try them out!
  14. Just ordered a couple of these MB shafts. Hope to compare it against AAA.
  15. Totally reuse it! Especially if the shaft was working well for you!
  16. Just on a side note, I use Sun Mountain stand bags. Nothing spectacular. but for us Montanans, it's a local company! Not many people know they are a Montana based company. I am sure they now make these bags mostly overseas nowadays. I would say 80% of golfers here in Bozeman use Sun Mountain bags and push carts.
  17. The foaming of the head got the P-Tune to weigh about 206g ... the 45.75" length with the AAA was a bit much from a swing weight perspective. I can get a lighter weight screw and get the weight down to 201g ... but I actually am waiting for a release of another head supposedly coming out later this month. I was thinking of saving the AAA for that. A shaft this good needs to be paired with a premium head, right?! ( just trying to justify my next purchase ...!! :) ) It's not the new Epon Zero Kai BTW... The P-Tune in its current weight seems to be a great match with the Waccine GR77 so I'm gonna keep this as is for now.
  18. I hear you Stu-san!! :) My shafts are probably a bit flexier than what you are used to but you could probably play them as they are all on the heavier side. Honestly I've picked up a lot of my JDM knowledge thru your write ups. Thus the similar set ups. I just paired the Stinger with the 153 head and appreciating once again what a great shaft it is. Compared to the Waccine GR77 I had in it before, I think I gained 10 to 15 yards with the Stinger. and the lively elastic feel is just so unique in a good way! Waccine 77 is still a great control shaft for me. Just not as long like the stinger.
  19. Thanks Ash! Yes, very hard to decide which bag of clubs to use. Today I had some extra time on the range with the P-Tune driver and realized how great a control driver it is. In addition, I am finding out the P-tune fairway paired with the Crazy FW50 Sigma is a serious distance monster. Not entirely sure if its the head or shaft.... but the thing goes! I am waiting for the copper to patina so I can actually take them out on sunny days. still a bit too much glare under the sun!!
  20. Thanks Craig! Hoping not to tinker too much but I've said that every single year! So who knows what I'll have in the bag next week....or even tomorrow! LOL
  21. Not sure which set I should be calling "gamer" for this season .. But I got two full bags set up with slightly different taste. I'll play both for the time being but may consolidate into one bag middle of the season.
